Zed sat casually on the car roof, watching the five behemoths beat up the weak action team members from a distance.
Woz brought Ross back to Zed, throwing him at Zed's feet.
Cough…cough…cough…
After a series of coughs, Ross knelt on the ground, greedily breathing in the fresh air. His disheveled appearance was very much like a certain beach beauty, which aroused a certain impulse in Zed's heart.
Zed took out a handkerchief and symbolically wiped it, then jumped off the car roof, staring intently at Ross.
After catching his breath for a while, Ross's breathing gradually stabilized. He looked at Zed with a face full of anger and roared:
"You! You! The military won't let you go!"
It must be said that Ross was worthy of the title of Thunderbolt General. He hadn't flinched in the face of both the Abomination and Zed, maintaining the image of an iron-blooded tough guy.
But Zed didn't care whether Ross was tough or not, and stomped on Ross's face. Coming from under the cold, emotionless mask was a laugh filled with mockery:
"Ohhohhohhoh I've been wanting to see this expression, this expression of impotent rage. Hahahahahaha!"
Ross, who was being stepped on by Zed, had his breathing become rapid once more. His entire face flushed crimson, and he gritted his teeth as he hissed:
"You! You! You! You wait for me! You damn bastard!"
Zed had had his fun. He stopped his mocking laughter and returned to his normal demeanor, moving his foot off of Ross.
Ross struggled to prop himself up with his arms, trying to stand up, while still cursing, "Damn guy!"
At this moment, Xin, bathed in blood, walked back, leaving a bloody footprint with each step.
Ross saw the blood on Xin and immediately realized what this female executioner had just done. Enraged, Ross was about to start cursing.
Boom!
Xin kicked Ross in his snarling face.
After kicking Ross to the ground, Xin then stepped on his face, rubbing the sole of her shoe as she said coldly:
"How dare you insult my Majesty?"
Zed laughed loudly, not caring about the bloodstains on Xin's body, and pulled her into his arms, saying:
"Truly worthy of being my female courtier! Xin! You did very well!"
Before Xin could respond, Ross began to curse resentfully again:
"Is this all you've got? You hit like a girl! And you call yourselves demon kings! The new recruits under me are stronger than you! Ptooey!"
Zed stopped Xin, who wanted to attack again. Although Zed also wanted to kill Ross, everything was for the greater good. He'd wait until the Avengers' Civil War to give Ross a very undignified death.
Zed bent down, facing Ross, and said:
"I'm curious what you can do to me. I won't kill you today, I hope you can bring me some fun in the future."
Ross grinned ferociously: "As you wish!"
Zed, despite saying he wouldn't kill Ross, wasn't opposed to a good beating. He got to his feet and, mimicking Xin's usual leg techniques, delivered a kick to Ross's face.
That felt good!
This leg technique was satisfying to execute and, more importantly, didn't kill anyone. It was perfect for humiliating someone.
Zed, done with the kick, didn't even look at Ross. He pulled out an Another Driver and gave it to Xin: "Abomination, while it's still hot."
Xin took the Another Driver and walked toward Abomination's corpse.
Abomination's body functions were powerful enough that it still retained some vitality. Without a heartbeat or breath, it was hard to tell he was dead.
Xin pressed the Another Driver onto Abomination's body. The Another Driver itself was a source of evil, dark energy, and this one radiated an even more sinister and violent aura.
Zed, watching from a distance, was curious about this power. This kind of bone-deep evil and darkness wasn't common. Xin returned with the Another Driver, and Zed confirmed it was Another Zero.
Zed toyed with the Another Zero Driver, feeling that today's objective was almost complete. He could retreat now and issued the order through the communication channel.
Except for Dan Kuroto, who reluctantly fired a few more volleys, the other three Time God Machines immediately returned to Zed's side, disappearing into the night with everyone else.
Hulk had originally clung to Dan Kuroto's Flying Dragon God Machine to leave, but as Hulk's fatigue set in, Banner regained control of the body.
Hulk considered Zed a friend, but Banner did not. Deep down, Banner longed for peace and naturally disapproved of Zed's actions.
Taking advantage of the fact that Hulk's strength hadn't completely faded, he released his grip on the God Machine, jumped to the ground, and promptly disappeared into the forest.
Zed didn't feel sorry for Banner's departure. He had already established a friendly connection with Hulk, and Banner's goodwill was optional.
Inside the Time God Machine, the space around Zed shattered and then reassembled, pulling Zed into a mirror space.
Zed said without alarm, "What does the Ancient One want this time?"
The Ancient One stepped out of the mirror dimension, looking at Zed, who was unconcerned.
"Why did you do this today? Do you want to rule the world?"
"I have no interest in ruling the world; it's just a waste of my precious time. Someone provoked me, so I made them pay the price. That's all there is to it."
Zed spoke slowly, then paused for a moment before continuing, "Don't tell me, Ancient One, that you're against world domination. Hydra wants to rule the world more than I do. Yet, you still keep that Mordo around, learning magic."
The Ancient One shook her head with a smile. "I used to be the one educating others with foresight, but now someone sees further than I do. How interesting! Although I can't see your future, with your temper, you will definitely clash with him. I can see that."
After a few more casual words, the Ancient One left. But Zed knew this friendly chat was actually a warning.
The Ancient One meant she would be prepared for him, prepared for him to create a bigger crisis after solving the current one.
Zed tapped his fingers. Let's see who has the last laugh!
No one in the God Machine had noticed what happened earlier, and Zed didn't plan on telling them. He flew directly back to the company.
\n\n
Back in the lab, Zed couldn't wait to use the W Driver. He had always been envious of the Earth Library's abilities, but with the lottery system, it was all about luck.
\n\n
When luck arrives, you get a seaside villa.
\n\n
But clearly, his luck hadn't arrived this time. Zed only got an orange Gaia Memory. He picked it up and examined it; it was the Sabertooth Memory.
\n\n
The Sabertooth Memory was for cats, so Zed could only toss it into the warehouse, feeling defeated.
\n\n
After leaving the lab, Zed went back to the break room and handed Xin the Faiz Driver and the Drive Driver, saying:
\n\n
"Xin! You did very well today! These are your rewards! They both possess great power. Use them well!"
Zed already possessed the power of Cronus, so the Faiz Driver and Drive Driver wouldn't help him much in terms of speed. It was better to give them to Xin.
Xin didn't show any excitement. She solemnly knelt on one knee and received the Driver with both hands, saying:
"Thank you for your grace! Your Majesty, the Demon King!"
Zed was really satisfied with Xin, his female courtier. After he conquered her with power, she was not only loyal but also considerate and ruthless when it came to killing.
Such a beautiful executioner was most suitable to serve under the Demon King.
After resolving the issue of who would use the two Drivers, Zed lay down on Xin's lap again, enjoying her soft service. Then he said:
"Xinjiao, our recent actions have been quite bold, and our identities are no longer hidden. We must speed up the process. We can start making the Ex-Aid Driver. Also! I want to see how strong your God Maximum can be in this world!"
"Hahahaha Truly worthy of you! No one understands my divine talent better than you do! Very well! Let this world witness my God Maximum! Hahaha~" Dan Kuroto laughed and walked back to the lab.
Zed continued to ask:
"Setron, how's Peter doing?"
"Peter Parker has returned to New York and has joined Dr. Connors' research team at the Osborn Group," Setron replied mechanically.
"Is it starting? Pull up internal research data from the Osborn Group and search for keywords like Lizard Serum and Green Goblin Serum."
"Dr. Connors, how is your research progressing?"
Dr. Connors was a little reserved in front of the company executives, because there had been some bad rumors circulating within the company recently.
Dr. Connors took a deep breath and said: "I've made a breakthrough. Look, these mice's severed limbs have been restored under the action of the serum. Although there are still some problems, give me some more time, and I will definitely be able to solve them completely!"
"What problems?"
"Irritability! The mice injected with the serum have all exhibited violent aggressive behavior. Their mental state is not stable."
"That's not a problem! Then we can start human trials!"
Osborn Group desperately needed a product to compete with Hammer Industries for military contracts, and they didn't care about human experimentation.
"Wait! This isn't possible! The Lizard Serum isn't nearly ready for human trials! I need more time!" Dr. Connors was still very kind before injecting the serum.
The company executive angrily shook his sleeve and said:
"Time! That's what we lack the most! In that case, the Lizard Serum project has lost its commercial value. We'll reallocate resources to other projects. You're on your own, Dr. Connors!"
Dr. Connors still wouldn't give up: "What about Mr. Osborn? I want to see Mr. Osborn!"
"There's no need. This project adjustment was Mr. Osborn's decision. I'm just following orders." After saying this, the company executive left the lab.
Peter, who was standing to the side, didn't know how to comfort Dr. Connors, but Connors spoke first:
"I'm sorry, Peter! You're going to lose your job right away. You should go home!"
After Peter left, Dr. Connors clutched the last vial of serum tightly.
